On the plus side, even when I go to bed late, I try to plan out at least 6 hours of sleep. It sometimes changes into 5 or 4 1/2, and that sucks, but normally I have enough sleep. It's just at far different hours than normal people. For instance, since I fell asleep around 5AM last night, and I only had 4 1/2 the night before, I set my alarm for noon. Luckily, my life of leisure allowed me to do so. There are times when not having a job comes in handy. It's just very few and far between.
When I woke up at noon, I lazed about as the past week had pretty much kicked my ass. As I was lazing I realized that the cough I had last night, which I thought was from dehydration and exhaustion, had turned into a bit of mucous in my throat.
So, I'm pretty sure I have a mild cold.
This was confirmed when I went to therapy and felt a little loopy. And then went to my voice lesson and could make my voice do what it normally does. Or, I could, but not in the right way. Used more muscle than breath. Whatever, I was coughing a lot. My coach could explain better than I can.
I had packed my stuff to go to the gym, but with feeling the way I was, I decided it was better to head home. So I bought some fixings for sicktime comfort food; tomato soup, goldfish crackers, and grilled cheese.
I went home and hunkered down for the night. This doesn't feel like a cold that will knock me on my ass or keep me coughing for 3 weeks, but since I have a callback for a really good job next Friday, I'm not taking any chances. I'm gonna kick this thing in a few days, dammit.
Netflix/Hulu+ of the night: Dollhouse
